2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 1/2 cups oats |
1 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped |
10 ounces unsalted butter, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 cup white chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon heavy cream |
